men from Alabama and Florida, and
a number of merchants from a DIS
lance. The party was rendered a ban
quet last night at the Hotel Riddle, which
was a magnificent affair. Mayor Grimes
was the master of ceremonies. The toasts
were drank with great enthusiasm until
they were interrupted by the POSTMASTER,
who said that Congressman Crisp had 8
special announcement to make The Con-
gresham, blushing to the ears, stood up
and said: "While we are here enjoying the

MILK POISONING IN NEW YORK
An Extraordinary Case Now Under Inves-
tigation In That City.

New YORK, May 13.-An extraordinary
case OF milk poisoning is now under inves-
tigation by the Department OF Health.
The poisonous milk was procured at Town
ers, N. Y. of a reputable dairyman and
distributed by a milkman against whose
reputation nothing can be alleged. Though
thirty three persons all told were poisoned
by this milk, ordinary tests fail
to reveal any poison in the
milk. The chemist to the Health
Board is preparing to thoroughly analyze
it. The milkman received nine cans of
milk from the dairy and only one of them,
which was sold in Harlem, proved un-
wholesome. The symptoms shown by the
poisoned people resemble those of cholera
morbus. All of them have fully recovered
except two or three. DI. Edison thinks the
present trouble must have been due to one
of the COWS having eaten some poisonous
herb or that diseased COW had supplied
the milk. The milk tasted sweet, how.
ever, and it is possible some poison may
have been dropped into one of the cans on
the way to the market.

AFTER THE GORDON WAGER.

An Attempt to BE Made to Beat the Best
Four-in-Hand TrOttInE Record.
New YORK, May 1.-THE Times says
"Just think, We New Workers who dote on
the turf and the joys thereof, Just think OF
this for a spectacle: Russell Sage, Wall
street king, perched behind a flying i0ur-
finland and dashing around Fleetwcod's
Odd spectacle, eh2 So it IS; but for all its
oddity it is a spectacle that you may very
soon have the delight of looking at
at 81 a head. A purse of So
coo is at stake. The best fourth
hand trotting record was MADE last year in
PAS by Gordon, of Cleveland, who, con-
WINGED that nobody is likely to be able to
lower that time, has made standing offer
of 5000 to anybody who can break 1t.
One of Mr.. Sage's friends, Lawson n. Fuller,
the agitator, orator, philanthropist and
student of Harlem goats was the first New
Yorker to give the Gordon Wager consider
alton, and he il was who first enlisted Mr..
Sage's lively interest. AS at first contem-
plated, Mr.. Sage was to provide three of four
horses to make up the team, Mr.. Fuller to
put in the racer that all New York has often
seen a-hying. This plan has been changed
so that now it is proposed that Mr.. Fuller
and Mr.. Sage shall enter one horse
each, while Percy Pyne will put in his
$40, 900 pride and the fourth horse will be
either ]. G. Stanton's Puzzler, who is I'M
fortunately in bad form just now, or a
horse with record owned by Colonel Rath-
burn, one OF Mr.. Fuller's Washington
Heights neighbors. Mr.. Sage's entry will
be Louis B., brother Of Mr.. Stanton's
Puzzler. The change in the makeup on
the team renders it probable that Mr.. Full
Ter will do the driving, Mr.. Sage insisting
that his friend shall take that honor; had
the original plan been carried out, of en-
tering three of Mr.. Sage's horses in the
team, he would have taken up the ribbons

refused the license because Lavelle Hss in

license was granted. Miss Hill will now
try to secure a new trial for her lover so
that he can be released from jail on bail

Failing in this she will patiently await the
expiration of his term of imprisonment,
which, it is thought, can not exceed three
years, and marry him then. She is thor
